TDT are quickly becoming a known name in the Australian Rock Scene.  The release of their highly awaited EP in December 2024 brings new life and a bigger sound to The Dreadful Tides. Make sure to grab a copy at the show.

DEATH OF ART:
Veterans of the Melbourne Goth/Industrial scene present a truly unique sound with Erin's soaring vocals leading the haunting, yet pulse-pounding instrumentation. Death of Art also provide a spell-binding visual performance, with plenty of movement, costume changes, and a stage presence to make you feel like it's all for you.

TOMORROW CALLING:  
Currently based in central Victoria, Tomorrow Calling is a band that delivers riffs and musical revelry through a two-guitar lineup, exploring genres ranging from melodic rock to old-school heavy metal.Formed by Josh Gitsham (drums) and Paul Haigh (guitars, vocals) in 2017, the name of the band originated from a yet to be released song which details the presence of the future.Influenced by AC/DC, Flash Gordon, Black Sabbath, Van Halen and Led Zeppelin, Tomorrow Calling are an exceptional source of riffs and guitar solos in the modern music landscape. Tomorrow Calling will be delivering more groove and memorable riffs later this year......

FORKLIFT ASSASSINS: Born from deep within the Melbourne underground rock scene, on a floor covered in spilt beer, piss and blood, comes the Forklift Assassins. These four guys know what it takes to rock, and they get out there and do it, fast, loud and in your face.  The Forklift Assassins are Mike on drums and vox, Sanjin on guitar and backing vox, Adam on guitar and Alex on the bass. These guys produce a no-holes-barred experience, bleeding you ears and frying your brain. Their live show is controlled chaos with more grunt than an angry bull.   With influences ranging from bands like Cosmic Psychos through to The Misfits, Ramones, Dead Kennedy’s, The Melvins, Slayer, Sabbath and the mighty Motorhead, Forklift Assassins make more noise than any four piece ever should. Now is the perfect time to get on the bandwagon before their egos grow as big as their guts.  Forklift Assassins, bringing punk/metal to your ears.

GAMMA SLOTH:
A 4 piece band that emerged from the radioactive swampy wastelands of Chernobyl to form Gamma Sloth. Members include: Mannix (singer), Roman (drums), Tom (bass), Barn (electric mandolin). Play a blend of prog stoner funk and sludge.
